According to the statement of the National Institute of Public Health, "The Omicron mutant was identified in a 13 of positive tests (COFID-19). The investigation has not yet been completed. The new mutant may be discovered in more samples. "
The World Health Authority called the new mutant "Omicron," calling it alarming because of the high number of mutations, and some early evidence that it carries a higher degree of infection than other mutants.
This means that people who have contracted and recovered the Covid-19 virus may be exposed to infection again, and it may take weeks to see if existing vaccines are less effective against them.
